“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

And, I had not made it.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

All achievers in their own way.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

And entered the park.

Worked for a marketing agency

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
